Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying behind an innovator (mubtadi')?
Answer:
If his innovation is one that breaks the faith or makes him an open sinner, then one does not pray behind him. As for a minor innovation, there is nothing wrong with praying behind him, but seeking someone else is undoubtedly better.
